But why would one ask the question this way? This is analogous to asking someone if they would rather drive a car or a vehicle.
How about just "what kind of whisk(e)y are you drinking tonight?"
More like a Subaru versus a Ferrari, but I agree it was a silly question. Runners are just not that cool for post-race pressers like that...
Ok, now I think you aren't following what is being said, here. The point of the car : vehicle analogy is that a car is a kind of vehicle, while not all vehicles are cars, in the same way that bourbon is a kind of whiskey, while not all whisk(e)y is bourbon. Subaru vs Ferrari doesn't make any sense as an alternative analogy (I'm not a car guy, but I'm pretty sure that a Subaru is not a kind of Ferrari).
